DIY Thing One & Thing Two Costumes



Here's what you'll need:

  • Two headbands
    • I bought an inexpensive set of soft, colorful headbands from Wal-Mart. They were about $3 for eight headbands. You can also use one you already have at home!
  • Two spools of blue tule 
    • These are found in the ribbon aisle at Wal-Mart for about $2 to $3 each.
  • Scissors
  • Ruler
  • Laminated print of the "Thing One" and "Thing Two" designs 
  • Hole puncher
  • Red shirt
  • Red pants/shorts/skirt 
Here's how you do it:

Step 1: Google "Thing One and Thing Two" to find the front logo for your t-shirt. I just copied and pasted them into a Word document and them as large as possible. Print and laminate for durability.

Step 2: Use a hole puncher to punch two holes at the top of your logo. Thread some of the blue tule through the holes to create a necklace. 
I preferred to wear mine as a necklace to avoid holes in my t-shirt from safety pins. If you don't have a printer, you can use a black marker to design your t-shirt logo. You don't have to laminate - it's just an option! You can also tape or laminate it to the front of your shirt.

Step 2: Measure out your blue tule in one foot sections. These don't have to be exact. You'll be cutting a lot - so CLOSE to one foot is good enough.


Step 3: Loop your tule around the head band. See the pictures below for a more detailed explanation.

 

Step 4: Put it together!
